It was exactly 23 years ago to the day that Shane McConkey pulled off his first ski base ever at Lover’s Leap in Strawberry, California and we are stoked to share that one of his biggest fans in the world has recreated his historic jump. Professional wingsuit athlete Kasey English used the exact same exit point on top of the famous granite cliff near Highway 50 and excuted a picture perfect flight before safely drifted to valley floor under canopy.
“Full circle moment. I must have watched McConkey’s segment in 7 sunny days 100 times growing up.” -Kasey English
Here is the original footage of Shane from January 15th, 2003. Absolute legend, Thank You Shane!
